Fs/Ft- 94 Civic Dx coupe
I bought this as a shell back in december after my hatch was stolen, i rebuilt it from the ground up, everything was redone except the exterior because I'm afraid it will just get stolen again... I use it as my dd, its super reliable, averages 35 mpg, I'm just ready for a change. It's milano red, 137,xxx miles, passed inspection 2 weeks ago at a legit state inspection station, no problems. I purchased brand new General tires (super long tread life), 2 days ago and got the car aligned, it drives straight, no vibrations, no issues at all, doesnt pull to the side.
Motor-
-d16y7
-apc short ram
-d16y8 throttle boddy
-d16y8 intake manifold
-dc header
-test pipe
-new stock exhaust
-d16y8 trans
-BRAND NEW throttle body gasket
-BRAND NEW intake manifold gasket
-BRAND NEW 2 layer headgasket, copper sprayed
-BRAND NEW valve cover gasket
-BRAND NEW exhaust manifold gasket
-BRAND NEW output shaft seals
-BRAND NEW fuel rail crush washer
-BRAND NEW fuel filter
-BRAND NEW fuel rail nut
-BRAND NEW fuel line from filter to rail
-BRAND NEW XTD 6 puck sprung clutch
-p75 b18b1 integra ls ecu
The trans shifts like butter, clutch grabs hard, the motor starts up first try and runs flawlessly...it pulls hard for a sohc imo...it pulled my friends ek with an ls swap when I still had a cx trans and exedy oem replacement clutch. It has a cel for o2 because i only have the signal wire hooked up. I went through inspection with the cel bulb out and the emissions were perfectly fine which means that the o2 is functional and working, just the heater isnt wired up; the exhaust takes care of heating the sensor.
Interior-
-grey interior
-97 lx front seats
-doorpanels from a candian si coupe, manual locks/windowsbut with tweeter holes, i put some 4x4 speakers in them
-discontinued oem floormats
-i took the backseats out to clean them, havent put them back in yet
-oem clock
-optional audio console
-armrest
-removed sound deadening
I'd rate it an 8 out of 10 when it's cleaned up but it keeps raining here so it's a little dirty. I worked at a detailing shop for a year, i actually know how to clean cars.
Exterior-
-cracked mugen style lip, better than nothing
-cf air duct, id like to run it to a stock airbox but i dont have one
-wingless ex trunk lid
-jdm tailights (no reflector in corner)
-15x7+35 wheels wrapped in 195/55/15 generals, less than 50 miles on the tires, they are extremely nice tires. i dont know what the wheels are exactly but i really like them, noone else seems to know what they are either.
-There's a couple stories about the exterior. The front bumper, hood, trunk lid and rear bumper appear to have been resprayed by maaco or pulled off of a different car that was resprayed by maaco. The car has a clean title and nothing popped up on carfax so I'm in the dark as to why they're like that, they are a darker shade of red than the rest of the car.
-The kid I bought the car from bought the car as a whole, parked it in his backyard and pulled it apart. It sat apart for a year, no waxing, no cleaning in the same position and as a result the clearcoat on the roof has faded slightly and the passengers side is a little lighter shade of red.
-His stepdad is a jerkoff and spraypainted F A G across the drivers side fender and door, I got the car with a layer of primer over the writing, Gourley and I sanded down the door and fender, sprayed them with oem colormatched spray painted, wetsanded with 2000 grit and buffed the the door and fender. You can barely tell it's spraypainted when theres a good layer of wax on there.
Despite all the paint flaws and a couple dings (the car IS 14 years old...), the body is straight and has NO RUST NO RUST NO RUST.
Suspension-
-BRAND NEW skunk2 pro-series coilovers
-BRAND NEW rear lca bushings
-BRAND NEW brembo rear drums
-BRAND NEW bendix rear shoes
-Neuspeed front strut brace
-97 ex front knuckles, same as 99-00 em1 si, the shop I brought the car to said the rotors and pads have about 60% of life in them
I'm not sure on the condition of the airbags; the horn buttons on the steering wheel do not work which would lead me to belive that the srs system has an issue. However there is a warning in the door jam that says the srs system should be inspected every 10 years by a dealership. I made my own horn button on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel, the inspection station told me that was fine and i passed with it. I think thats it, i might be forgetting a couple little things.
